The police car stopped at the entrance of Xinan First People's Hospital.
11:40!
It had been just over three hours since Jiajia's critical moment.
More journalists and citizens had been waiting at the hospital entrance, and when they saw the police car return, the flashbulbs started popping like crazy.
"Come on, young man!"
"Keep it up, young man!"
"Great job, keep it up!"
When Ai Xiaohai appeared from the police car, countless citizens cheered and applauded.
Regardless of whether he had obtained the serum, regardless of whether he could save Jiajia, Ai Xiaohai, the "young man," had already become a hero in their eyes:
A city hero!
Ai Xiaohai quickly rushed into the hospital. As Yanyan was about to conduct an interview, she suddenly remembered the awkwardness of the previous two rejections, and her outstretched microphone retreated...
...
"Quick, inject it into Jiajai!"
As soon as he entered the emergency room, Ai Xiaohai handed over the syringe.
The doctor was a bit puzzled; the syringe clearly contained fresh blood, not serum. According to the standards, the blood must be strictly tested before it can be injected into the patient; otherwise, no one could bear the responsibility if something went wrong.
"I'll do it!"
Ai Xiaohai, seeing the doctor's hesitation, quickly understood and pushed the doctor aside, coming to Jiajia's side.
The second application of the Ai family snake medicine had not been on the wound for long when Jiajia opened her eyes again: "Uncle, you're here..."
"Jiajia, trust Uncle."
Jiajia weakly nodded, but in her eyes, there was a clear sign of trust...
Ai Xiaohai's needle pointed at Jiajia's wound from the venomous snake bite, but he was a bit hesitant. It was difficult for someone who had never given an injection before to do it for the first time.
"I'll do it. If anything happens, I'll take the responsibility." The head nurse took the syringe from Ai Xiaohai's hand with a calm expression.
"Thank you." Ai Xiaohai said gratefully.
The head nurse pointed to the wound: "Is it here?"
Seeing Ai Xiaohai nod, the head nurse calmly and steadily inserted the needle into the vein near the wound, and the red blood in the syringe slowly flowed into Jiajia's body...
Ai Xiaohai's blood flowed through Jiajia's body.
The blood of the king of all snakes was incredibly powerful. As soon as it entered Jiajia's body, it aggressively devoured the snake venom that had been wreaking havoc. Under the attack of the king's blood, the snake venom had no resistance and was completely devoured in a moment.
The doctors and nurses would never forget this day. They could hardly believe what had happened to Jiajia and how miraculous the syringe of blood brought by Ai Xiaohai was.
Jiajia's body temperature rapidly dropped and quickly returned to normal. Not only that, but the originally rotten and black wound began to rapidly disappear.
"This..." The doctor was stunned. He could understand the removal of the snake venom and the drop in body temperature, but the wound? How could a wound that was so severely rotten recover so quickly? It looked like by the next morning, the wound would start to grow new flesh.
"Dad, Mom, it hurts!" Jiajia suddenly raised her hand, saying with a sense of grievance.
"She's saved, she's saved!" The doctor excitedly called out.
Originally, Jiajia had no sensation in the area where she was bitten by the snake. Now that she felt pain, it meant the snake venom had largely dissipated.
At this moment, although Jiajia was still exhausted from the snake venom, her spirit had clearly improved. Not only did she feel pain, but she also complained of hunger.
The doctor quickly had someone conduct a comprehensive examination of Jiajia to determine if there was any residual snake venom in her body.
Applause and laughter echoed through the emergency room. The child who had touched the hearts of so many people was finally saved. Jiajia's parents were already overjoyed to the point of tears.
"Where is the savior, where is the savior?" Jiajia's father suddenly remembered the young man who had saved his daughter.
But the young man was gone.
"Uncle, he's gone." Jiajia said, "He left just now. I wanted to call him, but he put his finger to his lips to tell me not to tell you. Uncle even smiled at me."
The applause and laughter stopped, and someone quietly wiped their eyes. This young man had appeared here miraculously and then left quietly.
"Journalist, journalist comrade." Jiajia's father came to Yanyan, tears streaming down his face: "I, I still want to kowtow to the savior, but I don't even have the chance to say thank you. Please, please help me find him through your TV station."
"Sure, we will." Yanyan's eyes were also red, and she nodded vigorously as if making a promise.
The doctor, however, was looking around. After a while, he called over the head nurse: "Where is that syringe? The one with the blood, where did it go?"
"I don't know. It was here just now, but it's gone..."
...
Ai Xiaohai threw the syringe into the river and whistled, letting the night wind blow over his body.
The syringe couldn't be left for them. What if they tested it and found something?
Although his body was already very tired, the feeling of saving someone was really great. Ha, he had always seen superheroes in movies. Was he a hero?
Forget it, being a hero wasn't that great. It was better to be the "King Ai" and live a carefree life.
On the big screen in the square, Xinan's famous host Yanyan was doing a live broadcast:
"... The little girl Jiajia has received timely treatment and is now out of danger... We don't know who the hero who saved her is, not even his name. However, our photographer did capture him on camera, and we hope that any concerned citizens can provide us with clues. Jiajia's father told me that he still owes his savior a 'thank you'..."
So many people gathered in the square, and not a sound was heard. They listened as Yanyan spoke with emotion:
"... In my memory, all interview subjects have been very cooperative, but today I was rejected twice, both times by this hero. Even the rejections were very rude. However, I didn't feel defeated at all because, in this person's heart, Jiajia's life is more important than anything... If you are watching, please allow me to say 'thank you' to you first! I felt for the first time that being rejected for an interview could be so happy... We have always been looking for heroes around us, but today we saw a real city hero. The only mystery left is who this city hero is..."
Someone in the square started clapping, and more and more citizens joined in.
All the applause was for this unknown city hero...
Ai Xiaohai watched calmly from a distance. When he saw his photo on the big screen, he knew he would be found soon. But what did it matter? The taste of being a hero was great!
He summoned the pigeon that had first discovered the white-tailed snake and asked it to lead the way, bringing the white-tailed snake to Xinan. Of course, he instructed it to do so only at midnight when no one was around, and he would be responsible for the reception.
Ai Xiaohai wanted to figure out why two white-tailed snakes suddenly appeared in Xinan. Second... it was a white-tailed snake worth a million! Although Ai Xiaohai definitely wouldn't sell it, he couldn't be sure what would happen if it fell into someone else's hands...
He wanted to give the pigeon a name, but what? Xiaoge? That would sound like "Xiaoge." After thinking for a long time, he gave the pigeon a name that sounded very nice to him:
Xiaobai!
Ai Xiaohai's unoriginal "Xiao" name army had another victim...
...
"Ai Xiaohai?"
When she saw the familiar face on TV, Deng Mengmeng called out. The Ai Xiaohai who had sold them the meat lingzhi in Hark City and had a mischievous smile!
Heaven, how did he become a hero?
Deng Mengmeng quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number: "Sister Yan, it's Mengmeng. I know who that person is. Really, I'm not lying. We met in Hark City. He's from my school, and his name is Ai Xiaohai."
"Great!" Yanyan exclaimed in surprise. After searching high and low, she found that the mysterious city hero was known to her good friend and little sister Mengmeng: "Do you know where he lives?"
"No."
"No problem, we can find out. This time, I must interview him... Oh, no, he seems to be unwilling to be interviewed. Mengmeng, don't reveal this information for now. We'll investigate quietly."
"Like a spy?"
"Yes, like a spy. You're my James Bond."
Putting down the phone, Mengmeng smiled. James Bond? That sounds great.
She thought of Ai Xiaohai's face, always with a mischievous smile, always with a look that wouldn't let go of any advantage. Her brother was so angry with him that he even found people to beat Ai Xiaohai, but Ai Xiaohai ended up beating them.
Deng Mengmeng had always been around so-called high-level people, and she had never known anyone like Ai Xiaohai before. This gave her a huge sense of novelty.
Now, hmm, I'm James Bond...
...
"Hey, that's my brother!"
"Sure, Mu Tou, are you going to die if you don't brag? If you had such a powerful brother, would you still be living here with us?"
"Really, he really is my brother, I'm not lying!"
"Go, go, go back to our room. Don't daydream all day. You can't even afford a TV, and you pretend to have a hero brother."
Meng Jiagui was driven out, but he knew that the city hero on TV was his brother—Ai Xiaohai!
They didn't believe him, but he knew he had an outstanding big brother.
